The building Of the Santa Fe line
is all contracted for between here
and Abilene, aud about four miles Of
road graded from Abilene west.
Contractor Garland has the first five
miles from Salina East, Scott the
next five, T. A. Butler the next five.
and Monroe the remaining six miles
running into Abilene. Work is pro-
crossing as fast a. possible on the
eastern end of the line, and all Of the
contractors will be at work i'm a few
days. The Santa Fe parallels le
Union Pacific for about three miles
east from Salina, and then branches
Off little To the south, crossing the
Saline river near the wagon bridge
farthest south across this river, and
leaves New Cambria a little 10 the
north Of their road Il does not
again touch the U. P. until il reaches
Solomon City. The Rock Island
will parallel the Santa Fe right
through from Abilene. This is quite
n change from their original route,
but 1t is thought the most feasible
one, and accordingly has been
adopted.

AN INDIANAPOLIS NEWSBOY.
An Irish-American Who illustrates the
Maxim that Pluck Beats Luck"

People like pluck. President Garfield tersely
phrased it, 'sPluck beats luck" That is, well
directed pluck does-pluck with brains behind
it. P. j. Kelleher illustrates this fact. He is
an Indianapolis boy, born in the city thirty years
ago, of Irish parents. He wasn't born with a
golden spoon in his mouth; not even silver one.
For years he was a well-known newsboy here,
bright, accommodating, polite, industrious, with
an Irishman's ready tongue in his head.
He has been in the hat business for himself
